The Okie College Girl

I’ve been indoors most of the day, but after awhile I couldn’t take it any more & took Ellie outside to play.  She looooooooves the snow.  Despite sinking into the snow, she’d hop over the “mountains” that we accumulated yesterday.  When I brought her in she had all these snow balls covering her fur, so I gave her a bath & now she’s currently running through the house like a wild woman with her Christmas Bobo.

My laptop didn’t arrive in time for Christmas.  It may get delivered tomorrow, but I have to refuse delivery since it sat in the cold all night and is now at risk for condensation.  I’m still very frustrated with UPS about this issue.  I even have to send my wine fridge back because it was shipped broken.  For now, I’m just going to save my money – spend the Amazon cash on something else & keep on going.

Before Thanksgiving had the chance to roll around I had our lights up & the inside of the house decorated.  Oh yes I did.  Roomie chose to focus on school while I chose something a bit more festive.  We went overboard with Christmas decorations last year and well this year was no different.  I completely love the way everything turned out this year.

After some hard work, I can represent my true colors.  I love being an OU student, I bleed crimson after all.

I love my yard work creation.  I’m the only one in my neighborhood that does this.  It looks fantastic and takes up the entire yard.  I loooove it.  Maybe you can see it if you fly over?

The mantle looked adorable this year.  Ellie even has her own stocking cause she’s apart of the family and we didn’t want her to be left out.

Of course you have to decorate the bathroom with a tree at least.  I mean Santa could decide to visit my bathroom instead and leave me something under my tree, right?

The Christmas lights are down.  All Christmas decor has been packed away in their respective bins, tubs & bags.  The only monster left to tackle is the enormous Christmas tree.  Life feels a little less cluttered, but I can only imagine what our house will look like next year.  We did get Ellie a new stocking, which matches our matching stockings.  {She is passed out in her crate, belly up at the moment.}

This household arose around 5AM this morning and didn’t quit partying until around 5PM.  Mostly because Roomie left to go to Target and I thought my bed looked GOOD.  It’s now 11:50PM and Roomie  into bed for the first time and I am getting ready to grab the iPod, start a movie and go to sleep.  It’s my nightly ritual, I fall asleep to a movie playing on my iPod.  I have no idea how on Earth I lived without this thing.

Other funny stories from this week have included.

*Dad discovering I have a iPod jack in my G6.  {note: this is not a standard piece of equipment on this model car.  I actually did some handy dandy mechanical work on my own car.}

*Roomie nearly being peed on by Hank.

*How Rudy came to live at our house.

*Finally having the question answered as to why Oklahoma bridges are all torn up.

*Riding pantless from Shawnee to Norman. {all the while having conversations about “what if” a cop pulled us over & if it’d be indecent exposure.}
